Love must be tough : New hope for families in crisis
Outline: Having written a spate of best selling books in subjects of marriage and parenthood, Dr. James Dobson now turns his attention to the most serious and destructive causes of family breakup. Love Must Be Tough is addressed squarely to the phenomenon of disrespect in marital relationships, describing its role in the gradual drift toward divorce for millions of couples. Specifically, Dr. Dobson examines the most devastating conflicts occurring between husbands and wives - infidelity, alcoholism, wife beating, emotional indifference, etc. - and offers practical advice for the partner who wants desperately to hold the marriage together. What emerges is a principle of loving toughness that is applicable not only to families in crisis, but to healthy marriages as well. Indeed, there is something useful here for single adults, for teachers and students, parents and children, labor and managements, Americans and Russians, or wherever human interests collide. In short, the most effective methods of drawing others toward us in times of disrespect and apathy are found in confidence and courage, rather than in weakness and appeasement, Genuine love, it would appear, simply must be tough if it is to survive the stresses of today's world. Love Must Be Tough is written not only for families on the brink of divorce, but also for everyone who seeks a better understanding of human behavior and the complex interrelationships between men and women.
